5 Affiliate Marketing Tips For Beginners, do not make these mistakes
In this post, I’ll focus specifically on 5 Affiliate Marketing Tips for Beginners that I believe would make a significant impact on your business because when people start with affiliate marketing they struggle for months.
And the reason for this is because they don’t focus on the right things. I believe the right things to focus on are these 5 tips, so I think you’ll love what I’ll teach you right here.
Tip Number 1. Know, Trust and Like
A lot of people focus on the specific affiliate offer and they don’t focus on building their channel. So tip number 1 is: “Instead of focusing on the affiliate offer, focus on building your three channels.
” What do I mean by this?
For example, you see a lot of people online, teaching: “Hey, you can make money online, you should promote this company and you’ll become a millionaire.” Or whatever the case is, right?
So, a lot of people kind of see this and they say: “OK, this company is really good, this product is really good, I’ll start promoting this and I’ll make a lot of money, just because the product is really good, people want to buy it.”
But it doesn’t work like this because people are going to buy from you if they like you, if they trust you and if you help them.
If they like you if they trust you and if you help them, they want to do business with you.
So, in order to do this, it doesn’t happen by just promoting products and services; what you have to do is you have to build your channels.
You have to build your YouTube channel,
You have to build your website/blog and you have to build your Facebook page because by doing these you’re building a real business.
See, if you just go and promote, but you don’t build these channels people are not going to like you, people are not going to trust you and you don’t help people because you don’t create any content for them, you don’t give them any value.
So, you’re kind of like the door to door salesman – you constantly knock on doors and you say: “Buy this, buy this, buy this!” but no one trusts you because you don’t have your own channel, you don’t have your own store, you don’t have your own website, and you don’t even have a Facebook page.
So that’s why you want to choose one at first. What are you going to choose – are you choosing your YouTube channel, are you choosing your website blog or are you choosing to build your Facebook page? Or all 3, so that you can start building a real business instead of just promoting and instead of just selling.
Tip Number 2. Know your audience
For example, let’s take the Four Percent Group.
We teach people which are Coaches, Online Marketers, Network Marketers, Trainers, Speakers, Educators – whatever the case is, and in all experience levels, how to position themselves, how to package their knowledge and how to market strategically?
And then we say: “OK, so we’re going to build our channels, we’re going to build out YouTube channel, we’re going to build our website blog and we’re going to build our Facebook page.” Now the next step for you is you have to understand pretty much who are the people in your audience; you have to understand:
“So who am I serving?” How are you going to sell something, an affiliate product to someone, if you don’t know what they need, what they want so that you can offer it? You see? You’re kind of like a doctor – when someone goes to the doctor office, what does the doctor do? The doctor checks the person and they say: “Ha, you know, I look at you and I think that you have these symptoms, so I am going to prescribe this medicine.” So you’re kind of the same way – if you know your customers that you’re serving, if you know the people that are visiting your channels – remember because you build these channels, you grow these channels, so people are visiting these channels, right? And then you can say: “OK because I know my audience because I know my patients, I know what to prescribe.
I know what affiliate offers to prescribe to these people that are coming to my channels.” Do you start to understand how you build a real business? Now, this is the difference between the top multi-millionaire affiliates that you see on the Internet versus the people who are just spamming over the Internet. The people who are just spamming over the Internet – they don’t have their own website, they don’t have their own YouTube channel and they don’t have their own Facebook page. And because they don’t have these people don’t like them, they don’t trust them and people don’t get any value from them.
But you’re going to have your channels and you’re going to know your audience.
Tip Number 3. Build your email list.
When you collect people’s emails you start communicating with them. Do not just spam your offers, but bring them value too, so they will open and read your emails.
Build your relationship with your subscribers. that being said. Here is:
Tip Number 4. Interact with your subscribers
You start communication with these people, every single week because when you communicate with these people every single week, you build a relationship with them. And the better the relationship with the people on your list is, then the more people are likely to buy your affiliate offers. And only then we go to promoting multiple affiliate offers, promoting multiple affiliate links and offers, but that complement one another.
Let’s say, for example, you are a graphic designer and you say: “OK, I want to make it as an affiliate marketer.”
Now, your best bet instead of going on the Internet and say how to make money online, and start promoting whatever is to create a blog, create a website and maybe you can teach in this blog different types of content that are helping your audience that you know.
And then you build a list and you communicate with these people, and then you send them affiliate offers every single week or every single month, you send them these affiliate offers, that you think are going to help your potential customers.
Do you understand what I mean? Just like a doctor, you kind of look at the people, you see what they’re commenting, you see on the Internet what are they searching, so you say: “OK, now I see that you’re someone who is interested in graphic design, well how about you sign up for Photoshop?”
Then you give them your affiliate link for Photoshop and then they click on the affiliate link for Photoshop and you get a commission.
Because this is what affiliate marketing is, right? You promote products and services and you get a commission. Then next week you say: “Hey, I know last week, I told you to buy Photoshop; I think it’s a great deal.
The week after that I say: I think it’s good if you continue your education on this subject, so maybe you are interested in this course on Photoshop or graphic design
And of course, this again would be an affiliate offer maybe and then you’ll make another commission.
And then three weeks later, you promote another product and you see – you don’t just promote the same offer as a lot of people do. They say: “OK, I am promoting this offer; you can make a lot of money online with this specific company.
And they promote the same thing. It doesn’t work like that!
Do not be afraid to email your audience often, the best way to keep engagement IS to mail often. if you don’t, people tend to forget about you.
Tip Number 5. Build Your Business
You build the audience; you build the channels, just like this post.
I created this 5 Affiliate Marketing Tips for Beginners post because we’re serving people in the affiliate marketing space and I want to teach you how to position yourself, how to package your knowledge and how to market, how to promote strategically
Right now on this channel and then in the future if I think: “OK, now because I know what your problem is, maybe I can promote this product to you and then get a commission. The whole point is to build your channels, to understand your customers, so then you can prescribe them the specific affiliate offers.
And then in the long-term, you’re going to build a real business, you’re not going be like the other people who are just promoting and then one year after they have nothing to show for it.
After a year, you want to have a business build up, after a year you want to have your channels build up. And then – right now, you’re probably asking: “But, Joe, how do I build my website? How do I build my YouTube channel? How do I build my Facebook page?”
Well, you want to start with one – the one you feel most comfortable with. Maybe you feel most comfortable with your website, maybe you feel most comfortable with your YouTube channel and then you’re going to start with one.
If I have to choose, I would choose the website or the YouTube channel, because Facebook is constantly changing their algorithms and it’s going to be really difficult to reach your own audience.
Because many people have a fear to start showing their face on Youtube, it is good to start off with a website.
